Show MISS GOULD'S COXTROVEH'SY. Miss Helen Gould, not long ago, had the mortification morti-fication of experiencing opposition to-an innocent sewing class under her patronagerin the' form of a prohibition by a Catholic priest "for children of his parfsh to attend the class. Miss Gould should not complain of this sectarian spirit "She is encouraging' en-couraging' it;- herself,' in her. own ministerial . friends, and is but reaping as she is sowing. In the correspondence that ensued between the lady and the priest, the latter made the statement that the Catholicchurch docs not object to-the reading of the version of Gods word which has come down to u unchanged from the time of Christ, meaning, of course, the .version "accepted by Rome;. but that it does object to the reading of the Protestant version, ver-sion, which goes back' only to the days of Henry" VIII: This statement Miss Gould regarded as inaccurate; in-accurate; aud she has therefore offered prizes for the best essays on the origin of the Bibles approved by the Roman and Protestant churches respective-' y. It is interesting to note the comments of the ratholie press upon this proposed literary contest, The W Ord,.Chtcago..fpr instance, says : ' V. r-c tLat WlU thf..-T?ult?
